Arctic Monkeys have dropped a bombshell – they’re embarking on a North American tour in support of The Car.
The tour launches in August 2023 and includes two nights at Forest Hills Stadium in New York and one night at Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. Fontaine D.C. will support them on these dates.
The band previously released a second single under The Car, “Body Paint”, with a video directed by Brook Linder. They also performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Produced by the band’s longtime collaborator James Ford, The Car has been revealed to host the lead tracks “There’d Better Be a Mirrorball” and “I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am,” which were played live by the band this year.
The Car is released after 2018’s Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, which was dropped five years after Arctic Monkeys’ fifth album, AM.
Like all of its predecessors, AM reached the top 1 of the UK charts. After Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, the Arctic Monkeys released the B-side Anyways, performed for Austin City Limits and released a live album for charity which was recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
